2014 Map of String Creek

About this map

The Flathead National Forest defines this high-altitude wilderness in the mid-2010s, characterized by a complex drainage system and prominent peaks. The landscape is dominated by significant summits including Chipmunk Peak, Cinabar Mtn, and Tranquil Mtn, which overlook a network of alpine waterways. Hydrological features such as Late Lake and Alcove Lake sit at the headwaters of numerous streams, with Bunker Cr and String Cr serving as primary corridors through the mountainous terrain. The only significant human-engineered route is the Natl Forest Develop Road 2820 Rd which skirts the western edge near Middle Fork Cr. This map captures the area's geography just as modern digital mapping standards were being refined, preserving the exact placement of remote landmarks like Bruce Mtn and Alcove Mtn within their established township and range grids.
